About Amy

Your Champion In The Courtroom, Your Voice In Negotiation. Robidas Law can help.

I am originally from Pennsylvania, but relocated to Maine after serving as an Electronics Technician in the US NAVY.  I attended the University of Southern Maine and the University of Maine School of Law.  After graduating from law school with honors, I worked as an associate at a firm in Portland, where I practiced  family law and criminal defense exclusively.  

 

Amy’s practice is 100% litigation and continues to focus on criminal defense and family law, including divorce, parental rights and responsibilities, enforcement of orders, protection from abuse, protection from harassment, and post judgment custody issues. Amy is admitted to practice in both state and federal courts and is a member of the Maine State Bar Association and the Edward Gignoux Inn of Court. She is a past president of the Maine Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and current Chair of the Family Law Section of the Maine State Bar Association.

    Review Amy Robidas

    The best choice

    Posted by

    I was hesitant to hire an attorney for my divorce but there are financial and personal considerations that, even though I hadn't thought of them, needed to be addressed. That is where Amy came in and I am so happy with the results. She is beyond professional. Her guidance through the process was well worth the cost.

    Outstanding Assistance

    Posted by

    Amy responded immediately to our initial request to review a 2000 divorce and a recently filed QDRO. It was not a black and white issue. Her analysis of the situation proved to be spot on, which was verified as more information became available. She was honest with me on my chances of prevailing early in the process which allowed me to make an informed decision concerning the risks/rewards of proceeding without first spending a lot of money. I strongly recommend her and would use her again without hesitation.

    Proficient and practiced

    Posted by

    The divorce process is inherently long, difficult and isolating. Divorce in the midst of a pandemic feels unremitting. Despite the need for all virtual operations, Amy was available, direct and knowledgeable. She was clear in both her explanation of the law as well as her advice in regards to my individual circumstance. Amy knew when to step up and when to step back. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone seeking a steady hand and skilled approach.

    Ms. Robidas handled a long and difficult divorce case for me. She demonstrated an outstanding ability to understand my goals, applied her excellent knowledge of both the formal legalities and the complex negotiations necessary to reach an equitable conclusion. Her legal assistant also provided excellent support. Ms. Robidas is focused on the ethical application of her copious legal knowledge and skill.

    Do yourself a favor and hire Amy as your first attorney

    Posted by

    Amy is very professional and treats you like family. I was going through very tough times as I hired a different attorney prior and that was going nowhere but spending more money and causing conflict with my ex and myself. Once changing to Amy I felt much more secure she was the right choice. Any question or concerns were answered timely and direct. She went above and beyond what I could ever ask for. Amy isn’t the type to drag your case on to make more money off of you . She is looking to do what’s best for your family and come to an agreement that works for everyone. I am happy to say my divorce is over and my ex and myself are still friends which is important when children are involved. Even after my case was over she was still very helpful and answered every question I asked. Thank you for not only helping me but my family as whole!!!
